Inner Psalm: Truthful Tongue
Psalms 59:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 59 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It condemns the sins of the mouth—cursing and lying—and says such words will be exposed by pride.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Neville Goddard spirit, Psalm 59:12 becomes an invitation to examine inner states rather than external foes. The 'sin of their mouth' and the 'words of their lips' are not only about others; they symbolize those perpetual inner dialogues that curse, judge, and lie to your sense of self. The pride referenced is the ego's insistence on separation, which feeds repetitive stories about lack, danger, or condemnation. When you recognize that these words arise from your own consciousness, you can choose to end their power by assuming the identity of the I AM—the witness who does not condemn but confirms the truth of your being. The verse then serves as a mirror: as you disidentify from the harsh inner speech, the external theater of cursing and lying loses its grip. Your inner light—your innate integrity—begins to replace the old narrations, and grace flows as your persistent feeling of Truth. The judgment and accountability shift from punishment of others to the revision of your own state of awareness, inviting the grace and favor that come with a purified tongue that speaks from wholeness, not fear.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM as your constant state. In a moment of stillness, say to yourself, 'I speak only truth; my thoughts, words, and inner talk are pure.' Feel that truth as a living reality now, and watch as your outer world reflects a calmer, more truthful speech.
